Somatostatin agonists are rapidly and efficiently internalized with the somatostatin sst2 receptor. The fate of internalized agonists and receptors is of critical importance because the rate of ligand recycling back to the cell surface can limit the amount of radioligand accumulated inside the cells, whereas receptor recycling might be of vital importance in providing the cell surface with dephosphorylated, resensitized receptors. Furthermore the accumulation of radioisotope-conjugated somatostatin agonists inside cancer cells resulting from receptor-mediated internalization has been used as a treatment for cancers that overexpress somatostatin receptors. In the present study, radio-iodinated agonists at the sst2 somatostatin receptor were employed to allow quantitative analysis of the fate of endocytosed agonist. After endocytosis, recycling back to the cell surface was the main pathway for both 125I-labelled somatostatin-14 (SRIF-14) and the more stable agonist 125I-labelled cyclo(N-Me-Ala-Tyr-d-Trp-Lys-Abu-Phe) (BIM-23027; Abu stands for aminobutyric acid), accounting for 75–85% of internalized ligand when re-endocytosis of radioligand was prevented. We have shown that there is a dynamic cycling of both somatostatin agonist ligands and receptors between the cell surface and internal compartments both during agonist treatment and after surface-bound agonist has been removed, unless steps are taken to prevent the re-activation of receptors by recycled agonist. Internalization leads to increased degradation of 125I-labelled SRIF-14 but not 125I-labelled BIM-23027. The concentration of recycled agonist accumulating in the extracellular medium was sufficient to re-activate the receptor, as measured both by the inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase and the recovery of surface receptor number after internalization.

Somatostatin (somatotropin release inhibiting factor) is an abundant neuropeptide, which acts on five subtypes of somatostatin receptor (SST1-SST5; nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Somatostatin Receptors [89]). Activation of these receptors produces a wide range of physiological effects throughout the body including the inhibition of secretion of many hormones. Endogenous ligands for these receptors are somatostatin-14 (SRIF-14) and somatostatin-28 (SRIF-28). cortistatin-14 has also been suggested to be an endogenous ligand for somatostatin receptors [56].

Rabbit alveolar macrophages which were treated at 0 degrees C with phenylarsine oxide and then incubated at 37 degrees C for 10 min exhibited a two- to threefold increase in surface receptor activity for macroglobulin.protease complexes, diferric transferrin, and mannose-terminal glycoproteins. Analysis of the concentration-dependence of ligand binding indicated that changes in ligand-binding activity were due to changes in receptor number rather than alterations in ligand-receptor affinity. Surface receptor number could also be increased by treatment of cells with three other sulfhydryl reagents, N-ethylmaleimide, p-chloromercurobenzoate, and iodoacetic acid. The increase in receptor activity was maximal after 10 min and decreased over the next hour. This decrease in cell-associated receptor activity was due to the release of large membrane vesicles which demonstrated a uniform buoyant density by isopycnic sucrose gradient centrifugation. Treatment of cells with phenylarsine oxide did not decrease the cellular content of lactate dehydrogenase or beta-galactosidase, indicating that cell integrity was maintained and lysosomal enzyme release did not occur. Our studies indicate that phenylarsine oxide treatment in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ results in the fusion of receptor-containing vesicles with the cell surface.

Incubation of serum-growth HeLa cells in serum-free medium causes a rapid (t1/2 3 min) 30-60% decrease in the binding of 125I-diferric transferrin to the cell surface. Addition of fetal bovine serum to cells in serum-free medium results in a rapid (t1/2 3 min) and concentration-dependent increase in binding activity. The loss or gain in ligand binding is a result of changes in surface receptor number rather than an alteration in ligand-receptor affinity. A variety of hormones (insulin, insulin-like growth factor, interleukin 1 and platelet-derived factor) were found to mimic the effect of serum on receptor number. The alteration in surface receptor number was found to be calcium-dependent. Changes in surface receptor number were independent of either receptor biosynthetic rate or the absolute cellular content of receptors. The effect of insulin or serum on Hela cell transferrin receptor distribution was unaffected by the presence of transferrin, demonstrating that receptor distribution in this cell type is ligand-independent. The ability of serum or insulin to modify surface transferrin receptor number was also observed in mouse L-cells, human skin fibroblasts, and J774 macrophage tumour cells. However, transferrin receptors on K562 and Epstein-Barr virus-transformed human lymphoblasts were unaltered by these agents. The quantities of receptors whose distribution is predominantly on the surface (i.e. epidermal growth factor or low density lipoprotein receptor) were unaltered by addition of the mitogenic agents. These results extend our previous studies [H.S. Wiley & J. Kaplan (1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 81, 7456-7460] demonstrating that mitogenic agents can induce redistribution of receptor pools in selected cell types.

We have previously shown that somatostatin promotes the stimulation of a membrane tyrosine phosphatase activity in pancreatic cells. To gain insight into the mechanism of somatostatin action, we purified somatostatin-receptor complexes from somatostatin 28-prelabelled rat pancreatic plasma membranes by immunoaffinity chromatography using immobilized antibodies raised against the N-terminal part of somatostatin 28, somatostatin 28 (1-14), which is not involved in receptor-binding-site recognition. After SDS gel electrophoresis a band with a molecular mass of 87 kDa was identified in the affinity-purified material as the somatostatin receptor. The 87 kDa protein was not observed when the membrane receptors were solubilized in a free unoccupied or somatostatin 14-occupied form, or when nonimmune serum replaced the anti-[somatostatin 28 (1-14)] anti-serum. Somatostatin 14 inhibited the appearance of the 87 kDa protein in the same range of concentrations that inhibit radioligand binding on pancreatic membranes. After somatostatin 28 treatment of membranes, purified somatostatin receptor preparations exhibited an elevated tyrosine phosphatase activity that dephosphorylated phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor and poly(Glu,Tyr). This activity was related to the presence of somatostatin receptors in purified material. It was increased by dithiothreitol and inhibited by orthovanadate. In purified material containing somatostatin receptors, anti-[Src homology 2 domains (SH2)]-containing tyrosine phosphatase SHPTP1 polyclonal antibodies identified a protein of 66 kDa which was not detected in the absence of somatostatin receptor. Furthermore, the anti-SHPTP1 antibodies immunoprecipitated specific somatostatin receptors from somatostatin-prelabelled pancreatic membranes and from untreated membranes. These results indicate that a 66 kDa tyrosine phosphatase related to SHPTP1 co-purifies with the pancreatic somatostatin receptors, and suggest that this protein is associated with somatostatin receptors at the membrane level.

We have examined the trafficking of the thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor (TRHR) and its ligand, after TRHR-TRH internalization in rat pituitary GH4C1 cells. After rapid ligand-induced receptor sequestration, the cell surface receptor pool was replenished. Replenishment was insensitive to inhibition of protein synthesis and was dependent on the duration of internalization; therefore, the replenished receptors were not newly synthesized but recycled. The total amount of recycled receptors decreased with increasing internalization time, resulting in only partial replenishment of the cell-surface receptor pool after prolonged incubation with ligand. Thus, in addition to a receptor recycling pathway, a non-cycling route exists for TRHR sorting; this route became dominant with increasing internalization periods. TRHR entry into these pathways was not determined by the affinity of the receptor-ligand interaction, because the extent of receptor recycling was similar after TRH- and methyl-TRH (MeTRH)-induced internalization. Unlike results with the TRHR, the TRH recycling pool was not depleted by the noncycling pathway. After multiple rounds of [3H]MeTRH internalization, the amount of cell-associated radioactivity increased with increasing internalization time due to accumulation of the ligand or its metabolites in a non-cycling pathway, but the absolute amount of recycled ligand remained constant after short or long internalization times. The difference in the proportion of TRHR and MeTRH that were diverted into a noncycling pathway indicated intracellular dissociation of the internalized TRHR-TRH complex. Dissociation of the internalized TRHR-TRH complex was dependent on the acidic pH in an intracellular compartment. Although extracellular acidic pH did not enhance cell-surface receptor-ligand (RL) dissociation, bafilomycin A1 inhibited both receptor and ligand recycling. We conclude that the TRHR-TRH system is unique among recycling receptors because, after RL sequestration, the TRHR-TRH complex becomes dissociated intracellularly via a bafilomycin A1-sensitive, acidic pH-dependent mechanism, and both the unoccupied TRHR and TRH recycle disassociated from each other.

The effects of withdrawal on the level and specific binding of somatostatin in the frontoparietal cortex and hippocampus of the rat after chronic haloperidol treatment were examined using125I-Tyr11 somatostatin as tracer. One week after haloperiodol withdrawal the number of specific somatostatin receptors in both brain areas returned to control values, after having decreased as the result of chronic administration. Neither administration of haloperidol nor withdrawal of it affected the levels of somatostatin-like immunoreactivity (SLI) in the two brain areas studied. The return of the somatostatin receptor number to control values after haloperidol withdrawal may be related to the motor side-effects that are clinically observed when the haloperidol treatment is terminated.

Five somatostatin receptor (sst) subtype genes, sst(1), sst(2), sst(3), sst(4) and sst(5), have been cloned and characterised. The five sst subtypes all bind natural somatostatin-14 and somatostatin-28 with high affinity. Endocrine pancreatic and endocrine digestive tract tumours also express multiple sst subtypes, but sst(2) predominance is generally found. However, there is considerable variation in sst subtype expression between the different tumour types and among tumours of the same type. The predominant expression of sst(2) receptors on pancreatic endocrine or carcinoid tumours is essential for the control of hormonal hypersecretion by the octapeptide somatostatin analogues such as octreotide and lanreotide. Somatostatin and its octapeptide analogues are also able to inhibit proliferation of normal and tumour cells. The high density of sst(2) or sst(5) on pancreatic endocrine or carcinoid tumours further allows the use of radiolabelled somatostatin analogues for in vivo visualisation. The predominant expression of sst(2) receptors in these tumours and the efficiency of sst(2) receptors to undergo agonist-induced internalisation is also essential for the application of radiolabelled octapeptide somatostatin analogues. Currently, [(111)In-DTPA(0)]octreotide, [(90)Y-DOTA(0),Tyr(3)]octreotide, [(177)Lu-DOTA(0)Tyr(3)]octreotate, [(111)In-DOTA(0)]lanreotide and [(90)Y-DOTA(0)]lanreotide can be used for this purpose.

This study examined the effects of insulin (INS) and growth hormone (GH) on mRNA and functional expression of somatostatin receptors (SSTRs). Rainbow trout liver was used as a model system to evaluate the direct effects of INS and GH on mRNA expression of three SSTR subtypes characterized previously from this species: SSTR1A, SSTR1B, and SSTR2. INS and GH directly stimulated steady-state levels of all SSTR mRNAs in a concentration- and time-dependent manner; however, the pattern of expression was hormone and SSTR subtype specific. INS stimulated SSTR2 expression to a greater extent than SSTR1A or SSTR1B expression, whereas GH stimulated SSTR2 and SSTR1B expression to a similar extent, with SSTR2 and SSTR1B expression being more responsive to GH than SSTR1A. Whether INS- or GH-stimulated SSTR expression resulted from altered rates of transcription and/or changes in mRNA stability also was investigated. Formation of nascent SSTR transcripts in nuclei isolated from rainbow trout hepatocytes was significantly stimulated by INS and GH. Neither INS nor GH, however, affected the stability of SSTR mRNAs. Functional expression of SSTRs was studied in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells stably transfected with SSTR1A or SSTR1B. Surface expression of functional SSTRs was stimulated by INS and GH. These findings indicate that INS and GH stimulate SSTR expression by regulating transcription of SSTR mRNAs and by increasing functional SSTRs on the cell surface, and they suggest that regulation of SSTRs may be important for the coordination of growth, development, and metabolism of vertebrates.

Five somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) bind somatostatin-14 (S-14) and somatostatin-28 (S-28), but SSTR5 has the highest affinity for S-28. To determine whether S-28 acting through SSTR5 mediates inhibition of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), fetal rat intestinal cell cultures were treated with somatostatin analogs with relatively high specificity for SSTRs 2–5. S-28 dose-dependently inhibited GLP-1 secretion stimulated by gastrin-releasing peptide more potently than S-14 (EC50 0.01 vs. 5.8 nM). GLP-1 secretion was inhibited by an SSTR5 analog, BIM-23268, more potently than S-14 and nearly as effectively as S-28. The SSTR5 analog L-372,588 also suppressed GLP-1 secretion equivalent to S-28, but a structurally similar peptide, L-362,855 (Tyr to Phe at position 7), was ineffective. An SSTR2-selective analog was less effective than S-28, and an SSTR3 analog was inactive. Separate treatment with GLP-1-(7–36)-NH2 increased S-28 and S-14 secretion by three- and fivefold; BIM-23268 abolished S-28 without altering S-14, whereas the SSTR2 analog was inactive. The results indicate that somatostatin regulation of GLP-1 secretion occurs via S-28 through activation of SSTR5. GLP-1-stimulated S-28 secretion is also autoregulated by SSTR5 activation, suggesting a feedback loop between GLP-1 and S-28 modulated by SSTR5.

Sequential changes in the numbers of cell-surface receptors induced by a transitory exposure to insulin in cultured 18-day foetal-rat hepatocytes were investigated in the presence of drugs and at a temperature of 22 degrees C, which inhibit cellular insulin degradation. Chloroquine (70 microM) and monensin (3 microM) did not greatly change the initial rate of internalization of cell-surface receptor sites after exposure to 10 nM-insulin, but led to a steady state after 20 min, which represented 40% of the initial binding, compared with 5 min and 60% in the absence of the drug. Moreover, these drugs strongly decreased the proportion of receptor sites recovered at the cell surface after subsequent removal of the hormone. They were ineffective when insulin was not present. The removal of monensin together with the hormone allowed partial restoration of cell-surface receptor sites and degradation of cell-associated insulin to start again at the initial speed, indicating a reversible effect of the drug. During this phase, the drug concentration-dependence for the two effects showed that receptor recycling was restored with concentrations of monensin not as low as for insulin degradation. The effect of vinblastine (50-100 microM) was similar to that of chloroquine and monensin, whereas no modification in the internalization and recovery processes was observed in the presence of bacitracin concentrations (1-3 mM) that inhibit insulin degradation by 70%. A temperature of 22 degrees C did not prevent the receptor internalization, but had a slowing effect on the recycling process, which appeared to vary in experiments where insulin degradation remained inhibited. The present study shows that the process of insulin degradation mediated by receptor endocytosis is not a prerequisite for insulin-receptor recycling in cultured foetal hepatocytes.
